Regardless of whether you’ve been married for a long time or not, all relationships face difficulties at some point down the road.

Meet With the Upper West Side’s Marriage Expert
Once you give me a call, we’ll begin by scheduling a preliminary consultation. This allows me to meet with you and your spouse and learn more about your current situation. You’re welcome to bring up any conflicts you’ve been experiencing so that, in our following sessions, we can unpack them together with my professional guidance.
The goal of the first session is to get an honest idea of your marriage’s current state and how each of you is experiencing this trying time. For the best results, I remind you that honesty is key throughout all our sessions. The rest will fall into place as we go, as long as you are both committed to the healing process.
Open and Honest Communication Within Your Marriage
While attending counseling sessions, I hope that you are not only honest with your partner, but also with yourself. It’s crucial for you to open the lines of communication and express what your wants, needs, and frustrations are to your partner. For this to work, you must have a certain level of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
I will help you properly assess what you're feeling and what is causing you to feel this way. I will provide you with effective communication tools and techniques, so that you can express your feelings to one another in a constructive way that does not hurt or blame. With my help, you and your spouse will learn to take turns when communicating and actively listen to each other.

Compassionate, Empathetic Couples Therapy to Address Any Marriage Problems
Marriage counseling is a precious resource for couples in which any topic can be broached and discussed. Perhaps there are long, firmly entrenched issues in your marriage or there are problems in response to recent circumstances. Regardless, counseling is a crucial first step in strengthening your marital vows and bond.
Marriage counseling can provide invaluable assistance with many of the issues married couples commonly face, including the following:
- Physical and Mental Health Problems
- Infidelities
- Addictions
- Grief
- Blended Family and Second Marriage Issues
- Parenting
- Ineffective Communication
By placing equal emphasis on individual and relationship development, I help clients move forward in their marriage with optimism.
Read on to see if any of these common issues apply to your current marital situation.
Physical and Mental Health Problems
Whether you or your spouse are dealing with physical or mental health issues, this may put a strain on your marriage. One partner may become more dependent on the other, and your partner’s well-being may start to consume much of your own life. This can get overwhelming.
You’ll be able to speak openly with me about your feelings so we can work through them together. You’ll also learn effective ways to support your spouse during this difficult time—without becoming emotionally or physically drained yourself.
Infidelities
When a marriage becomes stagnant, affairs can occur to fill a void in the partnership. These events may be very painful, but it is possible to recover from them and rekindle the relationship that got lost, as long as both parties are committed to fixing the marriage.
As your therapist, I will help you create a happier, healthier, and stronger bond with your partner and help you work through any residual sadness, anger, and resentment. It’s difficult, but it’s possible.
Addiction
Not only limited to drugs and alcohol, but addiction of any kind can also be a burden on a marriage. Too much of anything is too much. Whether you or your partner are addicted to gambling, shopping, your cell phone, the Internet, or anything else, it’s essential to discuss how these may be affecting your marriage.
Sometimes, this can be an eye-opening process for the partner with the addiction who may not know how their problem may be affecting their spouse.
Grief
Sometimes, suffering a great loss can result in negative effects on your relationship. Grief is a powerful, insidious emotion that may change you as an individual and as a couple. Whether one of you has recently lost a relative or you’ve experienced the loss of a child, it may be helpful to seek counseling to reframe the dynamics of your relationship amid these difficult events.
Blended Family and Second Marriage Issues
If your current marriage is not your first, you may have children with another person and responsibilities that require addressing with more than one family. This can be challenging to adjust to, even in the most stable of relationships, and I will provide you and your spouse with tools and helpful tips to manage blended family life effectively.
Parenting
Once you have kids, you may experience an unexpected change in your relationship due to disagreements and inconsistencies in parenting approaches. You and your spouse may have different parenting styles, as well as varying dos and don’ts. This can drive a wedge in your marriage, but as your therapist, I will help you find a healthy compromise with open and honest lines of communication.
Ineffective Communication
I will teach you and your spouse how to discuss your feelings and concerns without escalating, putting each other down, or placing blame. Often, it's simply a matter of learning how to communicate in a constructive manner, rather than a hurtful and negative one.
